I lost my younger brother (he was 38) to heart failure in Feb. of this year.
In 2014, he got exposed to some chemicals while cleaning fracking tanks in an oil field that caused the damage to his heart. He spent the next 6 months in the hospital on literal deaths door before recovering enough to have an LVAD implanted as a temporary measure while he waited for a heart transplant. In early Jan of of this year, he suffered a stroke that was so bad nothing else could be done and the pump that powered his heart had to be turned off.
After his heart pump was turned off, I expected to him pass very quickly, but he didn't. He was placed in hospice and it took another 5 days before he passed. I stayed by his side the entire time. It was the most excruciating, painful, and scarring experience of my life. Being only 11 months apart, we were incredibly close our entire lives. Other than my wife, there was no other person on this earth I loved more. He was a warrior the entire time and I want to honor his memory with tattoo on my back.
I've looked locally, but I don't like any of the work I have seen. What I want is a very powerful angel looking skyward towards heaven carrying my warrior of a brother to heaven, with a TBD message. I will compensate for a legitimate piece, but please get with me first before you start work. For reference, it's going to be on my back and be quite large.
Here are a couple pictures. The first one was the day before they turned off his pump (no I don't have mange, I had been wearing a hat), and the second was minutes before they turned off his heart pump.
